Description

本発明は、一対の対向するLC型光コネクタプラグを相互接続するためのLC型2心シャッタ付きアダプタに関する。 The present invention relates to an adapter with an LC-type twin-fiber shutter for interconnecting a pair of opposing LC-type optical connector plugs.

従来では、図20、図21および図22に示すLC型2心シャッタ付きアダプタQは、その組み立てに際して超音波溶接を採用するための専用の装置が使用されていた。そして、プラグPのフェルールFを囲繞するカップリングスリーブGでシャッタ板104を押し退けてから、前記アダプタQ内部のスリーブホルダ106に前記フェルールFを嵌合するように形成される。このとき、操作レバー105はプラグの挿入に合わせてアダプタQの傾斜面によって自動的に押圧降下する。図22に示すアダプタQは、前面が傾斜した扉面部102となした、下方開口のアダプタハウジング103に前記専用の装置を使った溶着により底板100cを取り付けることで矩形状の筒体となって形成される。 20, 21 and 22, conventionally, a dedicated device for ultrasonic welding has been used for assembling the adapter Q with the LC type twin-core shutter. After the shutter plate 104 is pushed away by the coupling sleeve G surrounding the ferrule F of the plug P, the ferrule F is fitted to the sleeve holder 106 inside the adapter Q. As shown in FIG. At this time, the operating lever 105 is automatically pushed down by the inclined surface of the adapter Q as the plug is inserted. The adapter Q shown in FIG. 22 is formed into a rectangular cylindrical body by attaching a bottom plate 100c to an adapter housing 103 having a downward opening and a door surface portion 102 with an inclined front surface by welding using the above-mentioned dedicated device. be done.

他方、図21に示すアダプタQは、上側壁100aと左右の側壁100bとが一体となったアダプタハウジング103が形成されるとともに、さらに底壁100cがアダプタハウジング103の上側壁100aに対向して左右の側壁100b間に取り付けられることで全体として、一対の対向するLC形光コネクタプラグP、Pを両端から相互に挿入可能とする嵌合部A、Bを両端に備えた矩形状の筒体となって形成される。そして、前記底壁100cをアダプタハウジング103の底部開放側に取り付けて左右の側壁100bに固定するための角筒状のホルダ101が前記アダプタQの前側に装着される。 On the other hand, in the adapter Q shown in FIG. 21, the adapter housing 103 is formed by integrating the upper wall 100a and the left and right side walls 100b. As a whole, a rectangular cylindrical body having fitting portions A and B at both ends that allow a pair of opposing LC type optical connector plugs P and P to be inserted into each other from both ends by being attached between the side walls 100b of the formed. A rectangular cylindrical holder 101 is mounted on the front side of the adapter Q for mounting the bottom wall 100c on the open bottom side of the adapter housing 103 and fixing it to the left and right side walls 100b.

また、前記LC型2心シャッタ付きアダプタとしては、例えば、特許文献1に示すように、シャッタ板には嵌合前から斜め上方向側から挿入したフェルール先端部を非接触状態で受け入れるための逃げ部を設け、また前記シャッタ板は前記逃げ部によってフェルール先端部を非接触状態で受け入れると同時に当該フェルール周囲を覆うように具備したカップリングスリーブの先端開口縁部によって前記シャッタ板を押し退け開放させるものとしたLC型光コネクタの防塵シャッタ内蔵アダプタが公知である。 As for the adapter with LC-type 2-core shutter, for example, as shown in Patent Document 1, a recess for receiving the tip of a ferrule inserted obliquely upward from before fitting into the shutter plate without contact. and the shutter plate accepts the tip of the ferrule in a non-contact state by the escape, and at the same time pushes the shutter plate open by the tip opening edge of the coupling sleeve provided so as to cover the periphery of the ferrule. An adapter with built-in dustproof shutter for an LC type optical connector is known.

また、特許文献2に示すように、各種の凹凸形状を有するLC型光コネクタプラグの嵌入作業時における作業者の身体、特に目に重大な危害を与えてしまうのを未然に防止するために、コネクタハウジングの側壁内側には、LC型光コネクタプラグを嵌合部より挿入ガイドするカイド溝状と、シャッタ板の揺動に適合する窪み部とを有し、前記ガイド溝条は前記窪み部の形成によって同一平面状となるようにカイド溝条の一部を切欠してなるものとしたLC型光コネクタ相互接続用アダプタが公知である。 In addition, as shown in Patent Document 2, in order to prevent serious injury to the body, especially the eyes, of a worker when inserting an LC-type optical connector plug having various uneven shapes, The inside of the side wall of the connector housing has a guide groove for guiding the insertion of the LC type optical connector plug from the fitting portion, and a recessed portion adapted to the rocking motion of the shutter plate. An adapter for interconnecting LC-type optical connectors is known in which a part of the guide groove is notched so as to form a coplanar shape.

さらに、特許文献3に示すように、シャッタ板の可動部側面(上部肩側の切欠部と、下部左右両側の突部と、を含む側面)は、開方向(下側)に揺動するが、シャッタ板の上部左右両側(上部中央の突部を介しての左右肩側)には、上部中央の突部と連続するように切欠部が形成されているため、シャッタ板の開放側回動時に前記ラッチ片との接触が回避される。すなわち、開放側回動時にシャッタ板の切欠部はコネクタハウジングの内部両側に対向して設けられているラッチ片の根元箇所を通過させるため、アダプタ本体全体の長さが小さくても、シャッタ板の開放側回動時に当該シャッタ板自体は前記ラッチ片と干渉しないMU型光コネクタ用シャッタ付アダプタが公知である。 Furthermore, as shown in Patent Document 3, the side surface of the movable portion of the shutter plate (the side surface including the notch on the upper shoulder side and the protrusions on the left and right sides of the lower portion) swings in the opening direction (downward). , On both left and right sides of the upper part of the shutter plate (left and right shoulder sides through the upper center protrusion), cutouts are formed so as to be continuous with the upper center protrusion, so that the shutter plate can be rotated to the open side. Sometimes contact with the latch strip is avoided. That is, since the notches of the shutter plate pass through the roots of the latch pieces provided oppositely on both sides inside the connector housing when the shutter plate is rotated to the open side, even if the overall length of the adapter body is short, the shutter plate can be An adapter with a shutter for an MU-type optical connector is known in which the shutter plate itself does not interfere with the latch piece when it is rotated to the open side.

しかしながら、前記した従来のLC型2心シャッタ付きアダプタQは、その組み立てに際して超音波溶接を使用していたため、専用の装置が必要であった。特に、カセット等に取り受ける際にはアダプタQの方向に制限があった。 However, since the conventional adapter Q with an LC-type twin-core shutter described above uses ultrasonic welding in its assembly, it requires a dedicated device. In particular, the direction of the adapter Q is restricted when receiving it in a cassette or the like.

また、図22に示すアダプタQでは、下方開口のアダプタハウジング103に溶着により底板100cを取り付ける構成であるため、経年劣化や隣接する他のアダプタとの接触等により当該底板100cが剥離する虞があった。 In the adapter Q shown in FIG. 22, since the bottom plate 100c is attached by welding to the adapter housing 103 having a lower opening, there is a risk that the bottom plate 100c will peel off due to deterioration over time or contact with other adjacent adapters. rice field.

また、上記した特許文献1では、フェルール周囲を覆うように具備したカップリングスリーブの先端開口縁部によってシャッタ板を押し退け開放させるものとしたが、この場合、シャッタ板の開閉の際には、当該シャッタ板の寸法誤差によりスリーブホルダの端部が接触してしまう虞がある。しかも、従来はシャッタ板下方の支持用の突起がハウジング前方に位置して前端の突起保持部の厚みが小さく脆弱化すると共に、閉塞時には高い位置に設定されているため、シャッタ板の回転時の干渉部は大きくなり、ガイド性能が低下すると共に、嵌合したプラグの曲げ耐加重は小さくなるという問題があった。 Further, in Patent Document 1 described above, the shutter plate is pushed aside and opened by the tip opening edge of the coupling sleeve provided so as to cover the periphery of the ferrule. There is a risk that the ends of the sleeve holder will come into contact with each other due to the dimensional error of the shutter plate. Moreover, in the conventional art, the protrusions for supporting the lower part of the shutter plate are positioned in front of the housing, and the thickness of the protrusion holding portion at the front end is small and fragile. There is a problem that the interference portion becomes large, the guide performance is lowered, and the bending load resistance of the fitted plug becomes small.

また、特許文献2の場合では、特にスリーブホルダは、フェルールの先端が挿入される開口部分が垂直端面に形成されているため、開閉回動時においてシャッタ板の下方部分が接触し易いという問題があった。 Moreover, in the case of Patent Document 2, the sleeve holder, in particular, has a vertical end face formed with an opening into which the tip of the ferrule is inserted. there were.

さらに、特許文献3の場合には、シャッタ板の上端両側に設けられた切欠部が、シャッタ板の開放回動時に、コネクタハウジング(アダプタハウジング)の内部両側に設けられたラッチ片との接触を回避するように形成されているため、シャッタ板の閉鎖回動時にコネクタハウジングとの間で隙間が生じ易く、光の漏洩や塵芥等の混入を招く虞があった。 Furthermore, in the case of Patent Document 3, notches provided on both sides of the upper end of the shutter plate prevent contact with latch pieces provided on both sides inside the connector housing (adapter housing) when the shutter plate rotates to open. Therefore, when the shutter plate is rotated to close, a gap is likely to occur between the shutter plate and the connector housing, which may lead to leakage of light and contamination of dust and the like.

そこで、本発明は、叙上のような従来存した諸事情に鑑み案出されたもので、シャッタ付きアダプタの組み立てに際してスライドロック式構造を採用することで、カセットに取り付ける際には、アダプタの方向に制限を設ける必要がなくなり、またスリーブホルダがシャッタ板の開放時に接触してしまう虞れがなく、さらに、アダプタハウジング内部とシャッタ間の密閉性、シャッタ自体のガイド性及び保持強度を向上させ、且つLC型光コネクタプラグをコンパクトに収納可能としたLC型2心シャッタ付きアダプタを提供することを目的とする。 Accordingly, the present invention has been devised in view of the conventional circumstances as described above. By adopting a slide lock structure when assembling the adapter with shutter, the adapter can be easily attached to the cassette. There is no need to provide restrictions on the direction, there is no danger that the sleeve holder will come into contact with the shutter when the shutter plate is opened, and furthermore, the tightness between the inside of the adapter housing and the shutter, and the guiding performance and holding strength of the shutter itself can be improved. Also, it is an object of the present invention to provide an adapter with an LC-type two-core shutter that can accommodate an LC-type optical connector plug compactly.

An adapter with a 2-core shutter can be provided, eliminating the need for dedicated equipment such as an ultrasonic welder.

そして、前記シャッタ板の開閉の際に、当該シャッタ板の上辺が前記スリーブホルダに接触しないように当該スリーブホルダの端面を上側から下側にかけて下向傾斜面に形成してなるものであるから、コンパクトにシャッタ板をアダプタハウジングに収納可能とすることができる。 Further, the end surface of the sleeve holder is formed into a downwardly inclined surface from the upper side to the lower side so that the upper side of the shutter plate does not come into contact with the sleeve holder when the shutter plate is opened and closed. The shutter plate can be stored compactly in the adapter housing.

前記シャッタ板は、その左右上側に形成した切欠部の端縁にL型の突条部を突設し、該突条部を、前記上蓋ハウジングの前記左右一対の開口部前方の左側壁内側と前記中央隔壁の対向側、及び右側壁内側と中央隔壁の対向側に各一対ずつ突設された係止壁に板バネにて当接保持することで、前記上蓋ハウジングの前記左右一対の開口部内を閉塞するように構成したものであるから、前記係止壁に対するシャッタ板のストッパ機能が強く働き、光の漏洩防止や前記左右一対の開口部内の密閉性を著しく向上させることができる。 The shutter plate has L-shaped projections protruding from the edges of cutouts formed on the left and right upper sides of the shutter plate. A plate spring abuts and holds a locking wall protruding on the opposite side of the central partition, and on the inner side of the right side wall and the opposite side of the central partition, to hold the locking walls in the pair of left and right openings of the upper cover housing. Therefore, the stopper function of the shutter plate with respect to the locking wall works strongly, preventing light from leaking and remarkably improving the airtightness of the pair of left and right openings.

以下、図面を参照して本発明に係るLC型2心シャッタ付きアダプタ(以後、「アダプタQ」と称す)の実施の一形態を詳細に説明する。 An embodiment of an adapter with an LC-type twin-fiber shutter (hereinafter referred to as "adapter Q") according to the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

本実施形態に係るアダプタQは、図1乃至図9に示すように、中間のスリーブホルダ20を介して、上蓋ハウジング1と下蓋ハウジング30とを合体させたスライドロック式構造による組み立て機構となっている。 As shown in FIGS. 1 to 9, the adapter Q according to this embodiment has an assembly mechanism with a slide lock structure in which the upper lid housing 1 and the lower lid housing 30 are combined via an intermediate sleeve holder 20. ing.

前記上蓋ハウジング1は、図1乃至図9に示すように、上壁1Aと左側壁1Bと右側壁1Cと前部下端の保持壁2とによって形成された筒状体内部に中央隔壁1Dを介して、先端から2心の光コネクタプラグP(図19、図20に示されている)が挿入可能な左右一対の開口部2を有する。 As shown in FIGS. 1 to 9, the top cover housing 1 is a cylindrical body formed by a top wall 1A, a left side wall 1B , a right side wall 1C, and a retaining wall 2b at the lower end of the front portion, and has a central partition wall 1D inside. It has a pair of left and right openings 2 into which two optical connector plugs P (shown in FIGS. 19 and 20) can be inserted from the tip.

すなわち、前記上蓋ハウジング1は、図1、図2に示すように、左右一対の開口部2と、該各開口部2の内側に起立配置したシャッタ板3と、左側壁1B、右側壁1Cとの後部に各形成した前記下蓋ハウジング30側面の被係止孔部36Aに係合させる係止突起4と、上壁1Aのやや下方から後方へ突出した平板5と、前記下蓋ハウジング30の後部中央に設けられた係止凹部35に係合するよう、前記平板5の中央で後方に突出し且つ下向きに係止部6Aを先端に備えたアーム6とから成っている。また、前記上蓋ハウジング1の前部下端の保持壁2bには3つの透孔13を設け、前記下蓋ハウジング30の底板部32先端に形成された3個の嵌合突起31をそれぞれ嵌め合い可能にしてある。 That is, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the upper lid housing 1 includes a pair of left and right openings 2, a shutter plate 3 erected inside each of the openings 2, a left side wall 1B and a right side wall 1C. a locking protrusion 4 engaged with a locked hole 36A on the side surface of the lower lid housing 30, a flat plate 5 protruding rearward from slightly below the upper wall 1A, and the lower lid housing 30. and an arm 6 protruding rearward from the center of the flat plate 5 and having a locking portion 6A at its tip so as to engage with a locking recess 35 provided in the center of the rear portion. Three through holes 13 are provided in the holding wall 2b at the lower end of the front portion of the upper lid housing 1, and three fitting projections 31 formed at the tip of the bottom plate portion 32 of the lower lid housing 30 can be fitted. It is

前記各シャッタ板3は、図1、図5(d)、図8、図9(b)に示すように、前記上蓋ハウジング1前面の両開口部2を形成する左側壁1B、右側壁1Cの内側及び前記中央隔壁1Dの両側にそれぞれ窪み部7を形成し、これら窪み部7に沿って、斜め配置の閉塞状態から水平配置の開蓋状態に移行するよう、金属性の板バネ8によって支えられている。 As shown in FIGS. 1, 5(d), 8 and 9(b), the shutter plates 3 are provided on the left side wall 1B and the right side wall 1C forming both openings 2 on the front surface of the upper lid housing 1. Depressions 7 are formed on both sides of the inner side and the central partition 1D, and along these depressions 7, a metal plate spring 8 is used to support the lid so as to shift from the oblique closed state to the horizontal open state. It is

而して、一方のシャッタ板3の下側に形成された左右に通じた突起9が、前記一方の開口部2の内側において左側壁1Bと中央隔壁1D下部を貫通した透孔9Aに通され、他方のシャッタ板3の下側に形成された左右に通じた突起9が、前記他方の開口部2の内側において中央隔壁1Dと右側壁1C下部を貫通した透孔9Aに通され、これによって両シャッタ板3、3は中央の中央隔壁1Dを介して左右一対となって両開口部2、2内に配されている。これらシャッタ板3はその下側に配した突起9の外側に丸めて配置した金属性の板バネ8によって常に上方に起立するように弾性保持してある。 A projection 9 formed on the lower side of one shutter plate 3 and communicating with the right and left is passed through a through hole 9A passing through the left side wall 1B and the lower part of the central partition 1D inside the one opening 2. A projection 9 formed on the lower side of the other shutter plate 3 and communicating with the right and left is passed through a through hole 9A passing through the central partition 1D and the lower part of the right side wall 1C inside the other opening 2, thereby Both shutter plates 3, 3 are arranged in both openings 2, 2 as a left and right pair via a central partition wall 1D. These shutter plates 3 are elastically held so as to always stand up by metal plate springs 8 rounded on the outside of projections 9 arranged on the underside thereof.

さらに、前記シャッタ板3は、図1、図8、図14に示すように、当該シャッタ板3の密閉時において、その左右上側には切欠部10が成形され、これら切欠部10の端縁にはL型の突条部3aがそれぞれ突設されている。 Further, as shown in FIGS. 1, 8 and 14, the shutter plate 3 is formed with notches 10 on the left and right upper sides thereof when the shutter plate 3 is closed. , an L-shaped ridge portion 3a protrudes.

すなわち、この切欠部10のL型の突条部3aは、前記上蓋ハウジング1の左右一対の開口部2近傍の左側壁1B内側と前記中央隔壁1Dの対向側、及び右側壁1Cの内側と前記中央隔壁1Dの対向側に各突設された2個一対の係止壁7A、7A、7A、7A(図8に明示されているような左右一対の開口部2、2内に各一対ずつ対向突設されている構造)の後端縁に、前記各開口部2後方へ前記板バネ8にて斜め配置となって当接保持され、当該両開口部2を密閉性に優れた状態において閉鎖するようになっている。 That is, the L-shaped ridge 3a of the notch 10 is formed between the inner side of the left side wall 1B in the vicinity of the pair of left and right openings 2 of the upper lid housing 1 and the opposite side of the central partition wall 1D, and the inner side of the right side wall 1C and the above-mentioned Two pairs of locking walls 7A, 7A, 7A, 7A protrude from the opposite sides of the central partition wall 1D (each pair is opposed in the pair of left and right openings 2, 2 as clearly shown in FIG. 8). The plate spring 8 obliquely abuts and holds the rear end edge of each opening 2 rearward of each opening 2, and closes both openings 2 in a highly airtight state. It is designed to

尚、図中27はプラグPの挿入性向上(シャッタ3回転時の干渉部を減らしガイド性を向上)させるために、前記上蓋ハウジング1の左側壁1B、右側壁1C内側において、後述するスリーブホルダ20の上方に設けられた角型突起部である。 In the figure, reference numeral 27 denotes a sleeve holder, which will be described later, inside the left side wall 1B and the right side wall 1C of the upper lid housing 1 in order to improve the insertability of the plug P (reduce the interference portion when the shutter 3 rotates and improve the guiding performance). 20 is a rectangular protrusion provided above.

また、図9(b)、図18(b)に示すように、前記上蓋ハウジング1の下端におけるシャッタ板3の下端の突起9を保持する保持部2aは上蓋ハウジング1の開口部2の後方に位置しているため、当該上蓋ハウジングの前端下方に設けられた保持壁2bの前後方向の厚みが増加している。こうすることによって、シャッタ板3の取付箇所の強度は向上し、またシャッタ板3の高さを低くでき、しかもシャッタ板3の脱落を未然に防いでいる。尚、前記シャッタ板3の正面約中央には矩形状等に形成した逃げ部11が設けられ、該逃げ部11の中間は透光性を有する薄板で形成されている。 9(b) and 18(b), the holding portion 2a for holding the projection 9 at the lower end of the shutter plate 3 at the lower end of the upper lid housing 1 is positioned behind the opening 2 of the upper lid housing 1. Because of this position, the thickness in the front-rear direction of the holding wall 2b provided below the front end of the upper lid housing is increased. By doing so, the strength of the mounting portion of the shutter plate 3 is improved, the height of the shutter plate 3 can be lowered, and furthermore the dropout of the shutter plate 3 is prevented. A relief portion 11 formed in a rectangular shape or the like is provided approximately at the center of the front surface of the shutter plate 3, and the middle portion of the relief portion 11 is formed of a thin plate having translucency.

前記シャッタ板3の起立保持のために板バネ8は、図14に示すように、その中央に光の一部を透過させるための透過部12を設けている。すなわち、前記板バネ8は、その下側部分8Aが前記シャッタ板3の下側の突起9を外側から丸め込むようにU字状に形成され、その上側部分8Bが逆の方向に湾曲している。この逆の方向に湾曲した上側部分8Bの上端部中央からは前記逃げ部11に対応すべくU字状の透過孔12aが形成されている。したがって、光はこの透過孔12aを通過して中間が薄板に形成された逃げ部11にあたり、これによって表側から光が見えることとなる。尚、前記透過部12には、本実施形態ではU字状の透過孔12aとして形成されているが、他の形態、例えば丸い孔などからなる透過孔12aとして形成しても良い。 As shown in FIG. 14, the plate spring 8 is provided with a transmitting portion 12 for transmitting part of the light at its center for holding the shutter plate 3 upright. That is, the leaf spring 8 is formed in a U shape so that the lower portion 8A of the leaf spring 8 rounds the protrusion 9 on the lower side of the shutter plate 3 from the outside, and the upper portion 8B thereof is curved in the opposite direction. . A U-shaped transmission hole 12a corresponding to the relief portion 11 is formed from the center of the upper end portion of the upper portion 8B curved in the opposite direction. Therefore, the light passes through the transmission hole 12a and hits the relief portion 11 formed in the thin plate in the middle, so that the light can be seen from the front side. In the present embodiment, the transmission part 12 is formed as a U-shaped transmission hole 12a, but it may be formed as a transmission hole 12a having another shape, for example, a round hole.

前記スリーブホルダ20は、図1、図5(c)、図5(d)、図9(a)、図12に示すように、前面側に二つの一方の円筒21、21を備えた前ホルダ部22と、後面側に二つの他方の円筒23、23を備えた後ホルダ部24とが、中央に二つの割スリーブ25、25を介して接合させることで形成される。そして、前記スリーブホルダ20の両端、すなわち前面側の円筒21、21と後面側の円筒23、23の各先端には上側から下方に向けて下向傾斜面26、26が各形成してある。尚、使用の状況に応じて前記スリーブホルダ20の片端のみ下向傾斜面26を形成しても良い。 The sleeve holder 20 is, as shown in FIGS. A portion 22 and a rear holder portion 24 having two other cylinders 23, 23 on the rear surface side are joined together via two split sleeves 25, 25 at the center. At both ends of the sleeve holder 20, that is, at the ends of the cylinders 21, 21 on the front side and the cylinders 23, 23 on the rear side, downward inclined surfaces 26, 26 are formed downward from the upper side. The downward inclined surface 26 may be formed only at one end of the sleeve holder 20 depending on the usage conditions.

前記下蓋ハウジング30は、下側が前記上蓋ハウジング1の前方下端の保持壁2bに配した3つの透孔13に合致させる底板部32と、後部の上側に備えた中央隔壁33および左側壁34、右側壁34とを有し、中央隔壁33の後端部上側には前記上蓋ハウジング1上方後部中央に設けたアーム6が先端下方の係止部6Aを介して係止させる係止凹部35を備えている。 The lower lid housing 30 includes a bottom plate portion 32 whose lower side is aligned with the three through holes 13 arranged in the holding wall 2b at the front lower end of the upper lid housing 1, a central partition wall 33 and a left side wall 34 provided on the upper side of the rear portion. A locking recess 35 is formed on the rear end upper side of the central partition wall 33 so that the arm 6 provided at the center of the upper rear portion of the upper lid housing 1 is locked via the locking portion 6A at the lower tip end. I have.

そして、図1に示すように、前記下蓋ハウジング30の左側壁34、右側壁34には前方に向けてそれぞれ支持板部36が形成され、この支持板部36の中央に被係止孔部36Aを設け、前記被係止孔部36Aが前記上蓋ハウジング1の左側壁1B、右側壁1Cの後部に各突設した係止突起4に係合するようになっている。 As shown in FIG. 1, the left side wall 34 and the right side wall 34A of the lower lid housing 30 are formed with supporting plate portions 36 facing forward, respectively. A portion 36A is provided, and the locked hole portion 36A engages with the locking projections 4 projecting from the rear portions of the left side wall 1B and the right side wall 1C of the upper lid housing 1, respectively.

また、前記左側壁34の上端と中央隔壁33の上端やや下方の左側に突設された受部33aの上面、及び前記右側壁34の上端と中央隔壁33の上端やや下方の右側に突設された受部33aの上面に、それら後端部を上方から覆うように、複数の脚部33bを介して一対のカバー体39が並列配置されている。そして、これらの上下対象位置(前記各カバー体39上面と前記下蓋ハウジング30の底板部32の下面)には左右ラッチ40の両端の係止孔38に挿入されて固定させる係止突起37が形成されている。尚、前記下蓋ハウジング30の後端にはフランジ部28が設けてある。 In addition, the upper end of the left side wall 34 and the upper surface of a receiving portion 33a projecting slightly below the upper end of the central partition wall 33 to the left, and the upper end of the right side wall 34A and the upper end of the central partitioning wall 33 projecting slightly below the upper right side of the central partition wall 33. A pair of cover bodies 39 are arranged in parallel via a plurality of leg portions 33b on the upper surface of the receiving portion 33a so as to cover the rear end portions thereof from above. Locking protrusions 37 are inserted into locking holes 38 at both ends of the right and left latches 40 to fix them at symmetrical positions (the upper surface of each cover body 39 and the lower surface of the bottom plate portion 32 of the lower lid housing 30). formed. A flange portion 28 is provided at the rear end of the lower lid housing 30 .

前記左右ラッチ40は、図10に示すように、前記下蓋ハウジング30の左横側と右横側に被せるための2つの同一構造によるものからなっている。すなわち、前記左右ラッチ40は横側に被せるための長尺な胴部41と、上下半分を覆う短尺な脇部42とを備えた正面コ字枠状のものとし、長尺な胴部41の端部からは先端がへの字状に折り曲げた3つの切片41A、41B、41Cと、短尺な脇部42の端部からは先端がへの字状に折り曲げた各1つの切片42Aとを備えている。 As shown in FIG. 10, the left and right latches 40 are of two identical constructions for covering the left lateral side and the right lateral side of the lower lid housing 30. As shown in FIG. That is, the left and right latches 40 have a front U-shaped frame shape having a long trunk portion 41 for covering the lateral side and short side portions 42 covering the upper and lower halves. It has three pieces 41A, 41B, and 41C whose tips are bent in a V-shape from the end, and one piece 42A each whose tip is bent in a V-shape from the end of the short side portion 42. ing.

一方、前記左右ラッチ40の代わりに、図11に示すように、必要に応じて上下ラッチ50が切り替え可能に形成することができる。すなわち、この上下ラッチ50は、長尺な胴部51の端部には何もなく、短尺な脇部52の端部からは先端がへの字状に折り曲げた各2つの切片52A、52Bを備えている。前記左右ラッチ40の胴部41及び上下ラッチ50の胴部51は前記下蓋ハウジング30後端に設けられたフランジ部28によって抜脱が防止される。尚、これら左右ラッチ40、上下ラッチ50は共に金属製などのバネ材にて構成される。 On the other hand, instead of the left and right latches 40, as shown in FIG. 11, upper and lower latches 50 can be formed switchably as required. That is, the upper and lower latches 50 have nothing on the end of the long body 51, and two pieces 52A and 52B, each of which is bent in a V shape from the end of the short side 52. I have. The trunk portion 41 of the left and right latches 40 and the trunk portion 51 of the upper and lower latches 50 are prevented from coming off by a flange portion 28 provided at the rear end of the lower lid housing 30 . Both the left and right latches 40 and the upper and lower latches 50 are made of a spring material such as metal.

以上要するに、本発明に係るアダプタQは、図18(a)に示すように、従来はシャッタ板3の突起9の前端に位置した保持部2aの保持壁2bが厚さの薄いCとなり且つ閉塞時には長いA幅の位置に来ている。これに対して、本実施例では、図18(b)に示すように、突起9を保持する保持部2aが後退して厚さがCよりも大きなD幅となり且つ閉塞時の長さはB幅の位置にある。すなわち、従来ではAの間隔が長いためCの間隔が薄くなるのに対して、本実施形態では、Bの間隔が短いため、保持壁2bの幅Dが厚くできると共に、前記スリーブホルダ20の端面が、図18(b)に示す幅Eを具有する下向傾斜面26が形成されているため、前記シャッタ板3の回転時の干渉部を減らし、ガイド性を向上でき、さらに、嵌合したプラグPの曲げ耐加重を大きくすることができ、且つアダプタ全体のコンパクト化が可能となる。 In short, as shown in FIG. 18(a), in the adapter Q according to the present invention, the holding wall 2b of the holding portion 2a positioned at the front end of the projection 9 of the shutter plate 3 has a thin thickness C and is closed. Sometimes it comes to a long A width position. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 18(b), the holding portion 2a holding the protrusion 9 is retracted to have a width D larger than the thickness C and a length B when closed. in the width position. That is, in the conventional art, the interval A is long and the interval C is small. In contrast, in the present embodiment, the interval B is short. However, since the downward inclined surface 26 having the width E shown in FIG. The bending load resistance of the plug P can be increased, and the overall size of the adapter can be reduced.

こうして、図19に示しように、アダプタQの開口部2のシャッタ板3に向けてプラグPの先端が挿入される。このとき、既述したように、操作レバー70が下方に自動的に押圧降下してプラグPが挿入されることで、シャッタ板3は水平状態に倒される。すると、このシャッタ板3の円弧軌跡上に、一方の円筒21、21が存在しないので(すなわち下向傾斜面26があるため)、前記シャッタ板3はスリーブホルダ20に接触することなくスムーズに開けられる。 Thus, the tip of the plug P is inserted toward the shutter plate 3 of the opening 2 of the adapter Q as shown in FIG. At this time, as described above, the operating lever 70 is automatically pushed downward to insert the plug P, thereby tilting the shutter plate 3 horizontally. Then, since one of the cylinders 21, 21 does not exist on the arc locus of the shutter plate 3 (that is, because there is a downward inclined surface 26), the shutter plate 3 can be smoothly opened without coming into contact with the sleeve holder 20. be done.

また、アダプタQを使用しないときには、閉鎖されているシャッタ板3の逃げ部11に、後方から光が透過するため、表側からその光の一部が見えることとなる。したがって、アダプタQの後方より相手側のプラグPが挿入されているか否かを即座に判断することができる。 Also, when the adapter Q is not used, light is transmitted from behind through the escape portion 11 of the closed shutter plate 3, so that part of the light can be seen from the front side. Therefore, whether or not the mating plug P is inserted from the rear of the adapter Q can be immediately determined.

次に、以上のように構成された形態についての使用動作の一例について説明する。
本実施形態の使用時には、図15に示すように、まず取り付けプレート53にアダプタQを取り付ける。このとき前記下蓋ハウジング30にある上下ラッチ50において各2つの切片52A、52Bのうち長い方の切片52Bが潰れて取り付けプレート53の開口部53Aに収まる。そして、短い方の切片52Aが取り付けプレート53の開口部53Aの手前で弾性保持される。
Next, an example of the operation of using the form configured as described above will be described.
When using this embodiment, first, the adapter Q is attached to the attachment plate 53 as shown in FIG. At this time, the longer piece 52B of the two pieces 52A and 52B of the upper and lower latches 50 on the lower lid housing 30 is crushed and accommodated in the opening 53A of the mounting plate 53. As shown in FIG. The shorter segment 52A is elastically held in front of the opening 53A of the mounting plate 53. As shown in FIG.

一方、図16に示すように、下蓋ハウジング30にある左右ラッチ40において各3つの切片41A、41B、41Cのうち長い方の切片41A、41Cと、上下各1つの切片42Aが潰れて取り付けプレート53の開口部53Aに収まる。そして、短い方の切片41Bが取り付けプレート53の開口部53Aの手前で弾性保持される。 On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 16, of the three segments 41A, 41B, and 41C of the left and right latches 40 on the lower lid housing 30, the longer segments 41A and 41C and the upper and lower segments 42A are crushed to form the attachment plate. It fits in the opening 53A of 53. The shorter segment 41B is elastically held in front of the opening 53A of the mounting plate 53. As shown in FIG.

また、図17に示すように、2心のアダプタQが3個を配置させる場合には、まずケーシング60の開口部61にこれらアダプタQが3個をまとめて挿入する。このとき、前記ケーシング60の開口部61近傍の上下両面にはそれぞれ2個の小孔62が設けられ、これに左右ラッチ50の短い方の切片52Aが係合する。而して、3個のアダプタQはケーシング60に並列に取り付けられる。図17(c)において、3はシャッタ板、20は両端に下向傾斜面が設けられたスリーブホルダを示す。 Also, as shown in FIG. 17, when three 2-core adapters Q are arranged, the three adapters Q are first inserted into the opening 61 of the casing 60 together. At this time, two small holes 62 are provided on both upper and lower surfaces of the casing 60 near the opening 61, and the shorter pieces 52A of the left and right latches 50 are engaged with these. Thus, the three adapters Q are attached to the casing 60 in parallel. In FIG. 17(c), 3 denotes a shutter plate, and 20 denotes a sleeve holder provided with downward inclined surfaces at both ends.
